How can my military experience fit?
Tell recruiting about relevant maintenance, mechanical, safety, logistics, or team leadership experience. Use the optional conversation choice in quick intake to ask about a military-to-civilian career transition. Recruiting will review branch entry requirements and whether prior training can be recognized.
Where is the program available?
The program is offered through participating Tustin branches. Select your preferred market in quick intake; recruiting will confirm whether that location is accepting apprentices and discuss your commute.
What is the pay?
This is a paid training path. Starting pay, wage progression, schedule, and employment details depend on the branch and opportunity. Recruiting will discuss them with you before you move forward.
